AI for Health, Travel & Life — A Real Conversation with an AI Adventurer

Today I'm sitting down with my neighbor Craig — a genuine AI Adventurer — someone who's not just curious about AI but actively exploring it every single day. Craig shares how he uses AI to prep for doctor's appointments, manage his health data, tone down his emails to the City of Charleston, work through tough moments on the pickleball court, and navigate Europe and Italy by car with AI as his third passenger. If you've ever wondered what it looks like when a real person — not a tech expert — actually weaves AI into daily life, this episode is for you. Plus — AI in the news: the #QuitGPT revolt and what it means when big companies start admitting AI is replacing jobs.

Craig's recommendations:

Function Health - Function Health is a membership service — about $365 a year — that gives you access to 160+ comprehensive lab tests twice a year, with results explained by top doctors, so you can get a deep picture of your health without going through insurance.
